Damien Langlois-Meurinne

Guimet Museum

Interiors Houses Pairs 2018-11-14

Designed by Damien Langlois Meurinne, The Guimet Museum is located in Paris, France. One of the main goals of the architect was the preservation of typical Parisian architectural features. “For me it is important to preserve traces of the past, and then integrate more modern touches there,” he says. The doorways were framed by minimalist bronze arches - a stylistic counterweight to the real stucco gables above them.

While working on the interior, Langlois-Meurine faced numerous limitations. For example, he could not move several walls due to the internal regulations of the building, so he simply swapped the kitchen and bathroom areas, and turned the guest room into an office. We also had to fight with the absence of symmetry in the living room, where it was impossible to place the fireplace in the center between the two doorways because of the pile of chimneys built into the wall. As a result, the balance was achieved thanks to an asymmetrical plaster fireplace, referring to the work of the Paris ceramist of the second half of the last century, Valentine Schlegel. 

Another forte of Langlois-Meurinea is his masterful use of materials. So, he combines a simple pine tree with a more expensive limby in the study. The most interesting space in the room is the kitchen, where both the walls and the cabinet doors are lined with wood panels with tin powder coating that simulates the surface of the water. “It creates an almost immaterial effect and reflects the light very interestingly,” Damien rejoices. Chen Su Xia, this conjures up a sense of a parallel world.
